Calif.)] X (Rubeo X Grace Sturtevant)) X (Prairie 
Sunset) 
This beautiful flower of burnt Siena and chestnut, is a testi- 
monial to the complicated parentage which reads like a 
genealogy of some princely house in the Almanac de Gotha. 
H.M. ‘44 - A.M. ‘45

(Mexico X Goldbeater) 
The myriad blooms which ‘cascade’ down the stems are of

This orchid-pink with a heavy ruffling like lace which is 
most concentrated at the bottom of the falls, is now within 
the modest price range. Although the flowers are not overly 
large they are charming. It has proven fertile both ways 
for us and passes its crinkled edges to its offspring even 
as a pollen parent. H.M. ‘45 - A.M. ‘47 
CHAR-MAIZE (Lyon ’49) M 44” $5.00 
(Snow Flurry X Aztec Copper)

though it has not attained that honor at this writing, it has 
been runner up for the Medal the past two years. The large 
flowers have extra heavy substance and are beautifully 
ruffled. The chartreuse flushed yellow blooms are one of the 
near approaches to green. H.C. ’48 - H.M. ‘49 - A.M. ‘52
